Hi,

The v0.7.0 release is now available!

http://www.libdivecomputer.org/releases/libdivecomputer-0.7.0.tar.gz

The main highlight of the v0.7.0 release is the introduction of the new I/O interface. With this common interface, the dive computer backends can more easily use different I/O implementations at runtime, including an application defined one. This is needed to support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), for which there is no built-in implementation available.

Due to the fundamental changes to the I/O layer, this release is not backwards compatible.

New features:

* A new I/O interface * Add support for new backends: - goa: Cressi Goa and Cartesio - divecomputereu: Tecdiving DiveComputer.eu - extreme: McLean Extreme - lynx: Liquivision Xen, Xeo, Lynx and Kaon - sp2: Sporasub SP2 * Add support for many new devices: - Aqualung: i100, i200C, i300C, i470TC, i550C, i770R - Heinrichs Weikamp: OSTC 2 TR - Mares: Genius, Horizon, Quad Air, Smart Air - Oceanic: Geo 4.0, Pro Plus 4, Pro Plus X, Veo 4.0 - Ratio: iDive Color, iX3M GPS, iX3M 2021 - Scubapro: A1, A2, Aladin H Matrix, G2 Console, G2 HUD - Seac: Guru, Jack - Shearwater: Peregrine, Teric - Sherwood: Amphos 2.0, Beacon, Sage, Wisdom 4 - Suunto: D5, EON Steel Black - Tusa: Talis * Firmware upgrade support for the Ratio computers * Support for semi-closed circuit diving
